Candidiasis vulvovaginitis affects pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I had my period on November 11th, and on December 27th, an early pregnancy test showed a weak positive. However, in the past two days, my vaginal discharge has turned slightly yellow, and the amount has increased. I used to have candidiasis vaginitis, which always recurred every cycle. I don’t know what to do. How can I ensure the baby is not affected?

Doctor's answer:

??Hello, according to the situation you provided, if you have candidal vulvovaginitis during pregnancy, you can use a nitrofurantoin suppository vaginally after washing the external genitalia with warm water daily. It has no effect on pregnancy.
It is recommended that you get adequate rest, pay attention to personal hygiene, and wash the external genitalia with warm water daily to keep them clean. Avoid eating irritating, spicy, or cold foods.
The occurrence of candidal vulvovaginitis not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, or cold foods.
